How to Get Rid of Bats: Safe and Humane Bat Removal Tips
Bats in Your Home? Here's What to Do.
Bats are incredibly beneficial creatures—helping to control insects like mosquitoes—but when they roost inside your attic, walls, or chimney, they can pose serious health and structural risks. If you’re hearing scratching or chirping sounds at night or notice droppings (guano) around your property, it’s time to act.
At Triad Wildlife Experts, we believe in safe, humane bat removal that protects both your home and the bats. Here’s how you can get rid of bats the right way.
Step 1: Confirm It’s Bats
Signs of a bat infestation include:
High-pitched chirping or scratching at night
Stains or droppings near vents or rooflines
A strong ammonia-like odor (from guano)
Seeing bats flying near your home at dusk
Once you've confirmed bat activity, it’s time for professional help. Never attempt to trap or kill bats—they're protected in North Carolina, especially during maternity season.
Step 2: Schedule a Professional Inspection
Bats can squeeze through gaps as small as ½ inch. A full inspection is crucial to:
Identify entry and exit points
Locate roosting areas
Determine the size of the colony
Triad Wildlife Experts provides detailed inspections across Greensboro and surrounding Triad communities to develop a custom plan for your situation.
Step 3: Use One-Way Exclusion Devices
Instead of trapping bats, we install one-way exclusion devices over their main exit points. These allow bats to leave naturally at night—but block their re-entry. This method is 100% humane and highly effective.
Step 4: Seal All Entry Points
Once all bats have exited, we seal all cracks, vents, and openings with durable, bat-proof materials to prevent future infestations.
Step 5: Clean & Sanitize the Area
Bat guano can carry diseases like histoplasmosis. Our team safely removes droppings and disinfects the area to ensure your home is clean and safe.
Step 6: Bat-Proof for the Future
Prevention is key. We recommend:
Installing vent covers and chimney caps
Sealing gaps in siding or rooflines
Scheduling annual inspections
